Magic

I woke up this morning on the right side of the bed. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, I felt like I was in a Disney movie. I got to work with a song on my lips (literally! I have an embarrassing habit of humming when I'm happy), and I made *drum rolls* "The Discovery". A cure for cancer no less. My boss couldn't believe her ears or her eyes when I showed her my data. She was so thrilled she hugged me!! This was a bit awkward since I was taken by surprise and didnt have the time to free my arms from her death hold on me to hug her back. We bought a bottle of champagne (using the lab's grant money, it has to be used for SOMETHING!) and a happy time was had by all. A Bacchalanian feast for the soul. My boss was even talking in terms of the Nobel Prize (which I thought was a little over the top but I didn't want to dampen any spirits so I went along with it). This is probably the happiest day of my life and as soon as I woke up this morning I just KNEW it would be The Day.

OK seriously, I DID wake up on the right side of the bed. The sun WAS shining though I'm not sure about the birds chirping. I DID hum all day (prompting this guy who works with me to ask me why I was so happy, which I frankly found insulting, do we need a REASON to be happy nowadays?). I wonder what it is about some days that you just feel like there's magic in the air. When you feel like nothing bad can happen, and miraculously even when something bad DOES happen it just melts into nothingness and doesn't stress you out in the least bit. Wonder what it is. I bet if I found out, bottled it and sold it, I'd be a multi millionaire before you could say Jack Spratt!
